Pommard 1er Cru "Les Rugiens-Bas" 2018 – Domaine de Montille
Widely regarded by experts as the unofficial "Grand Cru" of Pommard, the 1er Cru Les Rugiens-Bas from Domaine de Montille is a masterpiece of raw power. This wine embodies the quintessence of Pinot Noir on iron-rich, red limestone soils. Here, the legendary strength of Pommard meets the aristocratic elegance of the de Montille style. Crafted with a high proportion of whole-cluster fermentation, it offers dizzying complexity: dense black fruits, exotic spices, and smoky minerality. On the palate, its athletic structure and saline depth signal monumental aging potential. More than just a wine, it is a Burgundian icon—vibrant, profound, and destined for those who seek the thrill of extraordinary terroirs.

The Lord of Pommard in its Purest Form If there were only one, this would be it. Les Rugiens-Bas is the most coveted plot in the appellation, where Pinot Noir draws unparalleled strength and complexity. Under the expert guidance of Étienne de Montille, this terroir is expressed with disarming clarity.
-
An Iron Terroir: The name "Rugiens" comes from the red (rust) color of the soil, rich in iron oxide. This very terroir forges the "earthy" character and iron-clad structure of this exceptional wine.
-
Haute Couture Winemaking: Through biodynamic farming and delicate infusion of the grapes, the estate achieves the feat of transforming Pommard’s natural power into a velvety, airy texture.
-
A Legend for the Cellar: This 1er Cru has the stature of a Grand Cru. It is an investment for your cellar, a wine that evolves toward fascinating complexity of leather, truffle, and wilted rose over time.
